DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Hereinafter, with reference to the attached drawings, examples of theinventive concept will be described in detail. Furthermore, although thedrawings show multiples of certain elements or features, the descriptionmay refer to a single such element or feature for the sake ofsimplicity. Also, various features of the following examples may be usedin combination. Accordingly, the inventive concept is not limited to anysingle one of the disclosed examples.

FIG. 1 illustrates a major portion of an electronic device package 100according to the inventive concept.

The electronic device package 100 includes a package substrate 102. Thepackage substrate 102 may be a printed circuit board. A first connectionterminal 104 may be disposed under the package substrate 102. The firstconnection terminal 104 may be a solder bump or a solder ball. Thepackage substrate 102 may have a substrate body and a firstinterconnection layer 106 disposed inside the substrate body of thepackage substrate 102. The first interconnection layer may comprise aconductive wiring pattern. For convenience, only a portion of the firstinterconnection layer 106 is illustrated.

An interposer 110 may be located above the package substrate 102. Theinterposer 110 may be electrically connected to the package substrate102. The interposer 110 has an interposer body which may be referred toas an interposer substrate. The interposer body may be a siliconsubstrate. A second connection terminal 112 may be disposed under theinterposer 110. The second connection terminal 112 may be a solder bumpor a solder ball. The interposer 110 may also include a firstthrough-silicon via 113, a second interconnection layer 114, and thirdinterconnection layers 116 and 118. For convenience, the thirdinterconnection layers 116 and 118 are illustrated as if being separatedfrom each other. However, in one or more examples, the thirdinterconnection layers 116 and 118 may be connected to each other. Inone example, the third interconnection layers 116 and 118 may beelectrically connected to the second interconnection layer 114.

The first through-silicon via 113 may pass through a portion of theinterposer 110 between a top surface and a bottom surface of theinterposer 110. The second interconnection layer 114 may be electricallyconnected to the first through-silicon via 113. The firstthrough-silicon via 113 illustrated in FIG. 1 passes through only aportion of the interposer 110 between the top and bottom surfaces of theinterposer 110. However, in one example, the first through-silicon via113 may pass completely through the interposer 110 between the topsurface and the bottom surface thereof. The first through-silicon via113 and the second interconnection layer 114 will be described in detaillater.

A passive device 132 is disposed inside the interposer 110. The passivedevice comprises at least one passive electronic component. As is wellunderstood in the art, the term “passive” as used to describe anelectronic component refers to the fact that the component has anintrinsic characteristic in a circuit that does not depend on powerbeing supplied thereto. The passive device 132 may be an inductor. Thepassive device 132 may include a plurality of second through-siliconvias 136, passing between the top and bottom surfaces of the interposer110, and a redistribution layer 137 connecting the secondthrough-silicon vias 136. Portion A of the package 100 including thepassive device 132 will be described in detail.

A processing device or simply “processor” 120 may be located above theinterposer 110, and may be electrically connected to the interposer 110via a second connection terminal 122. The third connection terminal 122may be a solder bump or a solder ball. The processing device 120 may bea control chip that controls the electronic device package 100.

The processing device 120 may include at least one active devicedisposed on a wafer. The wafer may include an elemental semiconductor, acompound semiconductor, or an alloy semiconductor. Examples of theelemental semiconductor are silicon and germanium. Examples of thecompound semiconductor include silicon carbide, gallium arsenide,gallium phosphide, indium phosphide, indium arsenide, and indiumantimonide. Examples of the alloy semiconductor may include SiGe, GaAsP,AlInAs, AlGaAs, GaInAs, GaInP, GaInAsP, and combinations thereof.

In one or more examples, the wafer may include a non-semiconductormaterial. Examples of the non-semiconductor material include glass,fused quartz, potassium fluoride, and combinations thereof. Examples ofthe active device are a transistor and a diode. Examples of thetransistor include a metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor(MOSFET), a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) transistor, abipolar junction transistor (BJT), a high voltage transistor, a highfrequency transistor, a p-type channel field-effect transistor and/or ann-type channel field-effect transistor (PFET/NFET), a FinFET, and aplanar MOS transistor with a raised source/drain.

In one or more examples, the processing element 120 may include acentral processing unit (CPU), a graphics processing unit (GPU), and adigital signal processor (DSP). The processing element 120 may includean application processor (AP). In one or more examples, the AP may be awireless communication application or an application-specific IC (ASIC).

A high bandwidth memory (HBM) device 128 is mounted above the interposer110, and is electrically connected to the processing device 120 via thethird interconnection layer 116. The HBM device 128 includes at leastone high bandwidth memory (HBM). The HBM device 128 may be electricallyconnected to the interposer 110 via a fourth connection terminal 130.The HBM device 128 may be a stack of chips including a buffer chip 128 aand an HBM chip 128 b, and these chips may be connected via a chipthrough-silicon via (see 140 of FIG. 5).

As one example, the HBM device 128 illustrated in FIG. 1 includes fourHBM chips 128 b. The HBM device 128 including the four HBM chips 128 bmay have a bandwidth of 100 GB/s (gigabytes/second) or more. In oneexample, the HBM device 128 includes eight HBM chips 128 b. The HBMdevice 128 including the eight HBM chips 128 b may have a bandwidth of256 GB/s (gigabytes/second) or more.

A power management integrated circuit (PMIC) device 124 or simply “powermanagement integrated circuit” may be located above the interposer 110,and may be electrically connected to the interposer 110 and theprocessing element 120 via the third interconnection layer 118. The PMICdevice 124 may be connected to the passive device 132 located therebelowvia a fifth connection terminal 126.

A power management integrated circuit (PMIC), as the name implies,receives power supplied to the package device 100 and controls andmanages the supply of power to the electronic components of the packagedevice. In this example, the PMIC device 124 provides and controls powerto the processing device 120 and the HBM device 128. When the passivedevice 132 is connected to the PMIC device 124, power may becontrollable and stably provided to the processing device 120 and theHBM device 128. The passive device 132 illustrated in FIG. 1 is aninductor. However, if the application of the package device requires,i.e., in other examples according to the inventive concept, the passivedevice 132 is a capacitor.

When the passive device 132, e.g., an inductor, is located immediatelybelow the PMIC device 124, the performance of the inductor inside theelectronic device package 100 may be improved. However, the passivedevice 132 may be disposed in areas other than the area immediatelybelow the PMIC device 124.

In the electronic device package 100 according to the inventive concept,an intermediate structure consisting of the interposer 110 is interposedbetween the package substrate 102 and both the processing device 120 andthe HBM device 128. More particularly, the PMIC device 124, theprocessing device 120, and the HBM device 128 are mounted on theinterposer 110, and the passive device 132 may be disposed inside theinterposer 110. Accordingly, the footprint of the mounting area acrosswhich components are disposed on the package substrate 102 of theelectronic device package 100 is minimized, and power may be providedstably (e.g., to the processing and high bandwidth memory devices withinthe electronic device package 100), thereby maximizing its performance.

FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of the passive device 132 of the electronicdevice package 100 of FIG. 1.

The passive device 132 may be, as described above, an inductor. Thepassive device 132 may include the second through-silicon vias 136filling through-holes 134 passing or extending between a top surface S1and a bottom surface S2 of the interposer 110, and redistribution layers137-1 and 137-2 horizontally connecting the second through-silicon vias136. If needed, redistribution pads 138 and 140 may be disposed on theredistribution layers 137-1 and 137-2.

FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of the interposer 110 of the electronicdevice package 100 of FIG. 1.

The interposer 110 may include a body layer 110 bd, the firstthrough-silicon via 113, a top pad 109, a top insulating layer 117, thesecond interconnection layer 114, an interconnection pad 119, and thesecond connection terminal 112. The interposer 110 may function as amedium for enabling relatively small ones of the processing device 120,the HBM device 128, and the PMIC device 124 to be mounted to the packagesubstrate 102.

The body layer 110 bd may function as a supporting substrate. The firstthrough-silicon via 113 may pass through the body layer 110 bd, and endsof the first through-silicon via 113 may be connected to a top pad 109and the second connection terminal 112, respectively. The secondconnection terminal 112 may include a pad 112 a and a solder bump 112 b.

The top insulating layer 117 may be disposed on the body layer 110 bdand the top pad 109, and may include an insulating material, e.g., anoxide or a nitride. The second interconnection layer 114 may be disposedinside the top insulating layer 117, and may electrically connect thetop pad 109 to the interconnection pad 119. The structure of the secondinterconnection layer 114 will be described in detail in connection withFIG. 4.

The interconnection pad 119 may be disposed on the top insulating layer117. A distance between adjacent first through-silicon vias 113, adistance between adjacent top pads 109, and a distance between adjacentsecond connection terminals 112 may each be greater than a distancebetween adjacent interconnection pads 119. This is because theunderlying package substrate 102 is standardized, and thus, the firstthrough-silicon via 113, the top pad 109, and the second connectionterminal 112 are disposed so as to correspond to the package substrate102. The distance mismatch between the top pad 109 and theinterconnection pad 119 may be resolved by the second interconnectionlayer 114.

FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of portion “B” of the interposer 110 of FIG.3

The second interconnection layer 114 may be disposed inside the topinsulating layer 117. The top pad 109 may be electrically and/orphysically connected to the first through-silicon via 113. A fourtconnection terminal (see 130 of FIG. 1) is disposed on theinterconnection pad 119, and thus, allows the interposer 110 to beelectrically and/or physically connected to the processing device 120 orthe HBM device 128. The second interconnection layer 114 mayelectrically connect the interconnection pad 119 to the top pad 109.

The interconnection pads 119 may be more densely arranged than the toppads 109. For example, a spacing of or distance d1 between adjacentinterconnection pads 119 may be smaller than a spacing of or distance d2of adjacent top pads 109, and the spacing of or distance d1 betweenadjacent interconnection pads 119 may be smaller than the spacing of ordistance d3 between adjacent first through-silicon vias 113. In thiscase, the second interconnection layer 114 may be a redistribution layerhaving a redistribution wiring pattern.

The interconnection pad 119 may have a smaller footprint (area) than thetop pad 109. The interconnection pad 119 and the top pad 109 may eachinclude a conductive material, e.g., aluminum or copper. The firstthrough-silicon via 113 may include a barrier metal layer 113 bm, aninterconnection metal layer 113 wr, and a spacer insulating layer 113si.

FIG. 5 is an enlarged view of the HBM device 128 of FIG. 1.

As explained in connection with FIG. 1, the HBM device 128 may beelectrically connected to the interposer 110 via the fourth connectionterminal 130. In the HBM device 128, the HBM chip 128 b may be stackedon the buffer chip 128 a. The HBM device 128 may be a stacked structurein which chips are stacked on one another, and the chips of the stackedstructure may be connected via a chip through-silicon via 140.

The chip through-silicon via 140 may pass through the buffer chip 128 aand the HBM chip 128 b. A pad may be interposed between the buffer chip128 a and the HBM chip 128 b and between adjacent HBM chips 128 b.However, the pads are not illustrated in FIG. 5 for the purpose of easeof illustration. The number of HBM chips 128 b stacked in FIG. 5 isfour, but the inventive concept is not limited thereto.

In the layout 142 of the electronic device package illustrated in FIG.6A, the processing device 120 is located at the center of the interposer110. The HBM devices 128 are located on all fours sides (upper, lower,left, and right in the layout) of the processing device 120. The PMICdevice 124 may be located beside two of the HBM devices 128.

In the layout 144 of the electronic device package illustrated in FIG.6B, the processing device 120 is located at the center of the interposer110. The HBM devices 128 may be located on opposite sides (at left andright sides in the layout) of the processing device 120. The PMIC device124 may be located to one side (at a top side in the layout) of theprocessing device 120 between the opposite sides on which the HBMdevices 128 are located.

In the layout 146 of the electronic device package illustrated in FIG.6C, the processing device 120 is located at a side portion of theinterposer 110. The HBM devices 128 may be located around a portion ofthe processing device 120. The PMIC device 124 may be located to oneside of the HBM devices 128 on a side portion of the interposer oppositethat at which the processing device 120 is located.

As described above, regarding the layouts 142, 144, and 146 of theelectronic device package, a processing device may be disposed on aninterposer as horizontally spaced apart from a PMIC device and variousarrangements of HBM devices. Layouts other than those illustrated arepossible, i.e., the inventive concept is not limited to the examplesillustrated in FIGS. 6A to 6C.

In the electronic device package 200, the interposer 110 is locatedabove the package substrate 102. The processing device 120, the HBMdevice 128, and the PMIC device 124 are provided above the interposer110. The PMIC device 124 may be located at a side of the HBM devices128.

The passive device 132-1, e.g., an inductor 132-1 a or an inductor 132-1b illustrated in FIGS. 8 and 9, may be disposed inside the interposer110 below the PMIC device 124. The passive device 132-1, e.g., aninductor, may be provided immediately below the PMIC device 124. Whenthe passive device 132-1 is provided immediately below the PMIC device124 as described above, the performance of the inductor inside theelectronic device package 200 may be improved.

The inductor 132-1 a illustrated in FIG. 8 may include a rectangular,spiral interconnection pattern layer 150 on an insulating layer 152 ofthe interposer 110. The inductor 132-1 b illustrated in FIG. 9 mayinclude a circular, loop or spiral interconnection pattern layer 150 aon the insulating layer 152 of the interposer 110. Unlike FIG. 1, theinductor 132-1 does not include through-silicon vias passing through theinterposer 110. Accordingly, the inductor 132-1 may be easily disposedinside the interposer 110.

As described above, in the electronic device package 200 according tothe inventive concept, an intermediate structure consisting of theinterposer 110 is interposed between the package substrate 102 and boththe processing device 120 and the HBM device 128. More particularly, thePMIC device 124, the processing device 120, and the HBM device 128 maybe mounted above the interposer 110, and the passive device 132-1 may beeasily disposed inside the interposer 110. Accordingly, the footprint ofthe mounting area across which components are disposed on the packagesubstrate 102 of the electronic device package 200 is minimized, andpower may be provided stably (e.g., to the processing and high bandwidthmemory devices within the electronic device package 200), therebymaximizing its performance.

FIG. 10 illustrates a major portion of an electronic device package 300according to the inventive concept.

The electronic device package 300 may be the same as the electronicdevice package 100 of FIG. 1, except that a plurality of interposersincluding an upper interposer 110 b and a lower interposer 110 a, and aplurality of passive devices including a lower passive device 132 a andan upper passive device 132 b are provided. Referring to FIG. 10,descriptions the same as those made in connection with FIG. 1 will beomitted or briefly provided herein.

Thesecond interconnection layer 114 a may be electrically connected to thefirst through-silicon via 113 a. The first through-silicon via 113 aillustrated in FIG. 10 passes through only a portion of the lowerinterposer 110 a between the top and bottom surfaces of the lowerinterposer 110 a. However, in another example, the first through-siliconvia 113 a passes completely through the lower interposer 110 a betweenthe top surface and the bottom surface thereof.

The thirdthrough-silicon via 113 b illustrated in FIG. 10 passes through only aportion of the lower interposer 110 a between the top and bottomsurfaces of the upper interposer 110 b. However, in another example, thethird through-silicon via 113 b passes completely through the upperinterposer 110 b between the top and bottom surfaces thereof.
